About The Customer
Cargotec is a leading provider of cargo handling integrated solutions and services. Its products are present in every major cargo hub worldwide and are used in ships, ports, terminals, distribution centers, heavy industry and in on-road load handling. With approximately 11,000 professionals and operations in more than 100 countries, Cargotec’s mission is to grow its business through strong customer focus. The company’s corporate base is located in Helsinki, Finland with production facilities located in China, Finland, Germany, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its customers include leading global and local businesses in a wide range of industries.
The Challenge
Cargotec, a leading provider of cargo handling integrated solutions and services, had a scattered approach to remote support and realized the need to standardize on a single solution. The company had approximately 30 IT support desk representatives and 90 local IT personnel located around the globe to serve more than 7,500 users in its many local branches. Prior to obtaining Bomgar, the organisation used a number of different remote support solutions. The type of issues fielded by Cargotec’s IT support team include helping users who have trouble connecting to the corporate network or are experiencing problems using its Citrix applications.
The Solution
Cargotec decided to standardize on Bomgar for remote support. The company initially deployed three Bomgar appliances to handle its global operations. In order to streamline the management of its licenses, the company later upgraded to Bomgar’s Atlas Technology. Atlas is designed for large-scale geographic deployments of Bomgar, using a single site across multiple appliances that form nodes of a cluster. Because the administration is primarily performed on a master appliance, the cluster configuration has minimal administrative impact. Bomgar’s robust file transfer capability is another feature Cargotec’s IT support team appreciates. During a session, representatives can transfer, delete or rename files or entire directories both to and from the remote computer.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
